ABRAHAM R. MIRANDA, OF BOSTON, ASSIGNOR, BY DIRECT AND MESNEASSIGNMENTS, TO FRANK M. FERRM, OF NATIOK, MASSACHUSETTS.

VAPORIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 491,902, dated February14, 1893.

Application iiled November 17, 1891- Serial No. 412,240- (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM R. MIRANDA, a citizen of the United Statesof America, and a resident of the city of Boston, in the county ofSuffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new anduseful Improved Apparatus for Distributing Disinfectants, &c., of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an apparatus more especially intended fordistributing vapors arising from disinfectants but it is applicable aswell to distributing vapors arising from other materials.

. The drawings, forming part of this specication, illustrate anapparatus of my invention.

Figure 1 is a vertical section, line 1-1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is avertical section, line 2 2, Fig. l.

In the drawings, A is the receptacle.

B, B are means for discharging the contents cf the receptacle Ain drops,globules or other small particles, atoms, rbc., and O is the chamberdtoreceive the material discharge as aforesal The receptacle A and thechamber C, preferably are contained in one inclosure and as a whole madeeither of sheet-metal or other suitable material. The receptacle A isdirectly over the chamber O, and the chamber preferably at its centralportion C2 is open from front to rear, and this opening is surroundedand closed between the front and rear walls of the chamber by a plate C3of sheet metal or other suitable material having rows of perforations aas particularly shown extending about its entire periphery and a portionof its width. In lieu of perforated sheet metal, a netting of wire, orof other suitable material, or any other material suitable for theworking of the apparatus of this invention, as hereinafter appears, maybe used.

The discharging means B, B for the c0n tents of the receptacle A asparticularly shown consist of two downwardly tapering tubes one at eachside of the central opening C2 of the chamber O and each at its lowerend-portion closed as at D2 by spongy or porous or other materialsuitable to cause the contents of the receptacle A to percolate or siftor otherwise to pass and escape into the chamber O in the formofglobules or drops, if the material be a liquid and in small particlesor atoms, if the material be a solid. The discharging ends of said tubesare situated in the chamber O so that the globules, &c., issu-v ingtherefrom will be exposed in falling sufficiently for their gases toescape within the fieldof the perforated wall of the central opening C2of the chamber C and thence to pass from the vchamber out through theperforations of said wall and into and by combining with the air of theroom &c., in which the apparatus is placed to there be distributed anddiffused.

If the receptacle A be charged with a disinair of the room &c., in whichthe apparatus is placed. But the receptacle may be charged with othermaterials, as for instance, such as those capable of imparting apleasing perfume or odor to the air of the room in which the apparatusis placed.

S0 far as described, the distributing of the gases on escaping withinthe chamber, C, from the material with which the receptacle A ischarged, is dependent practically on natural causes. For activedistribution of the air from the cent-ral opening C2 into the room arotary-fan E is located within the central opening C2 of the chamber andthere arranged to be rotated by means of a horizontal shaft F to whichit is attached and which at its opposite end-portions is arranged toturn in fixed supports and bearings F2 and by the operashaft and of anysuitable construction and otherwise of suitable arrangement and electricconnection, or by the operation of any other suitable motor. I Anelectric motor however is in many cases most preferable.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is In combination, a reservoir for liquid disinfectant, achamber below said reservoir and tion of an electric motor G connectedto saidv described will act to disinfect and purify the IOO :e gemmehzwinf" n horizontal o )en We 1' o )en at its o y 1n testimon f whereofI have hereunto set b 7 poslte ends, and surrounded by n perforated myhand 1n die presence of Jnwo subserlbmg Io Wall, distributing,` pipesleading from said reS- Witnesses.
